Subject: [PATCHv8 net-next 0/4] sunvnet: add jumbo frames support
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 15:53:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5429B8C0.6080807@oracle.com> (raw)
This patch set updates the sunvnet driver to version 1.6 of the VIO protocol
to support per-port exchange of MTU information and allow non-standard MTU
sizes, including jumbo frames.
Using large MTUs shows a nearly 5X throughput improvement Linux-Solaris
and > 10X throughput improvement Linux-Linux.
Changes from v7:
-handle skb allocation failures in vnet_skb_shape()
per Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Changes from v6:
-made kernel transmit path zero-copy to remove memory n^2 scaling issue
raised by Raghuram Kothakota <Raghuram.Kothakota@oracle.com>
Changes from v5:
- fixed comment per Sowmini Varadhan <sowmini.varadhan@oracle.com>
Changes from v4:
- changed VNET_MAXPACKET per David Laight <David.Laight@ACULAB.COM>
- added cookies to support non-contiguous buffers of max size
Changes from v3:
- added version functions per Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
- moved rmtu to vnet_port per Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
- explicitly set options bits and capability flags to 0 per
Raghuram Kothakota <Raghuram.Kothakota@oracle.com>
Changes from v2:

Changes from v1:
- fix brace formatting per Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
